Football's a funny old game as Mr Jimmy Greaves famously once said.

Vile Villa should have been relegated last season but for the ridiculous failing VAR goal line technology against the Blades ( thus unfairly relegating Bournemouth instead )

Now after splashing around a billion quid they suddenly look like they could end up challenging for the title/ champions league.

Villa could at present consider themselves one of the luckiest/ most fortunate clubs in world football.

Agree Baz. But the balloon could bust for them.

Baz, agree with you, but Bournemouth were relegated because over 38 games they weren't good enough, if the blunts goal had stood we can't say that they would of stayed up, lockdown saved Ville because they got players back fit, but (and no one hates Ville as much as me) they did good transfer buisness, but an injury to grealish or mings or the goalie or Barkley and they would struggle
IMO.

Very curious / excited about Bielsa' s team selection tomorrow against the Wolverines

Bummer that Llorente is out injured. I wonder if Coops might have recovered quickly enough to play? Otherwise I guess Struikh will start.

And offensively which 3 players will start out of

Pablo
Costa
Harrison
Rodrigo
Raphina and
Poveda?

along with Bambam

What a lovely selection headache for Bielsa.

Is Roberts injured otherwise stick him on list Baz.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 16:40:10
Corky I forgot about Roberts, yep he is on the selection list too.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 16:47:58
Agree at one point I thought we might have a small squad but fair play to rads he has backed us and we got options all over the park.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 17:44:01
I'd expect Harrison, Rodrigo and Costa to start with Hernandez and Raphinha coming on after 60 or so for Rodrigo and Costa, maybe even Poveda for Harrison too, poor Eolves defenders!

Bermo it takes a man to admit he was wrong. You d man 😉.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 04:21:56
Will be same starting line up as vs Pool but with Rodrigo rather than Pablo unless Cooper is cleared. Bielsa doesn't mess with the starting unless it's forced. Would love to see Raphinha or more of Poveda at some point though (hopefully because it's going well rather than we are chasing) .

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 09:30:20
Cheers corky been wrong a lot lately and loving it thought rads was a slightly better version of ken bates. very wrong

Thought belisa could never get a team out of the championship. very wrong.

Brighton are no mugs. They know what Ben White is worth. Watching him play now and he's a fabulous player as we already new. Class act and I wish we'd gone the extra to get him in. Pure Bielsa/ Leeds player. At least Koch looking the business.,

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Oct 2020 16:02:19
'Going the extra' would not have made any difference to the outcome.

I don't think Brighton ever had any intention of selling BW (this season at least ) their manager Graham Potter said as much several times.

Would have loved BW back but not to be.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 21:25:01
There’s always an extra in business Baz it’s just how far you are willing to go. Personally I’d have gone as far as the end of the ocean.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 23:21:37
Sorry Cork, I think Leeds went far enough chasing Ben White. Top player, but it wasn't meant to be him joining us on a permanent basis.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 05:07:11
White was fantastic for us but they kept putting the price up till it made no sense. £20m would have been great business, £30m a stretch but ok, doable, £40m a gamble because he isn't worth that currently and £50m (because some media touted it) would have been madness, we got 2 Spanish internationals for less. Was fantastic but I'd rather have Koch and Llorente for what we spent tbf.

Spurts and Liverpuddle looking longingly at our England regular KP according to “ reports”

Bermo, have a word with Klopp and Jose please, we don’t want to sell our future captain

😉.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 Oct 2020 12:00:51
In sure bermo knows a coach at both clubs and can let them know how useless KP really is. Get bielsa to send him along to their training grounds, but wear his binoculars to draw attention to himself.

Lazy journalism, if we listen to what the journo's have been saying over last 2 months we would have a 58 man squad.

said this before I don't know anyone at Liverpool but did meet with spurs chief scout in 2018 he said he saw leeds a lot I said not for phillips and he just laughed, I said its for Clarke ain't it. he said he thought he was a great player, few months later they signed clarke

now this was a couple of years ago, they might say KP has grown, they might of changed there scout. so they might genuinely be interested in Phillips however paper talk at the time said they was interested in phillips and at that time I know it simply was not true the scout laughed. genuinely laughed so unless they have changed there mind and done a 180 it is paper talk.

before anyone insults me got back through the post and you can see I said this months before it happened

before anyone has a pop at me and change the record boll""ks see my name has been mentioned and this is a reply not a start of thread

I would be delighted if we sold phillips to spurs or Liverpool (escpially Liverpool after what they have said) hopefully he goes for 40 million plus before he is found out.

great read on here. https:/ / motleedsnews. com/ fans-view/ overrated-bang-average-awful-many-intl-fans-destroy-leeds-player-display-on-sunday/

now phillips is in the spotlight he will be found out. not everyone has rose tinted glasses on for the Yorkshire Pirlo his lack of pace is enough to make him unsiuitable for the modern game. as one England fan said (in the article I posted) phillips was walked past by Belgium player meaning rice had to sprint and save phillips.

again time will tell, yes phillips now has four caps. in a poor England team that can't beat Denmark. when phillips does something in an England shirt fair play but come December phillips will be found out. put a fast man on him and you will take him out of the game and score. cos he is slow and can not under any circumstance defend. stick you stats where the sun doesn't shine. phillips is pony and soon the world will see it for what it is. unless phillips gets a bionic legs or learns the defensive position

im so bored of reading my name on here connected with phillips he is useless I know it and soon the world will all see it and then the Yorkshire Nora batty won't be worth 5 mill let alone 40.

Always get a rant from me you want to watch my 25 minute video dissecting kp from this season with full video analysis on why kp is useless defensively. in my defence everyone who has watched it has agreed including Leeds staff apparently the Yorkshire pirlo himself would agree but then you can’t argue with facts over stats.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 17:10:04
Err what Berm? your 25 min KP video?!

Is it on YouTube 🤣?

You been in the boozer all day Berm? 😉 your round I believe Berm make mine a double good lad! 👍.

Spurts bought clarke

We banked £8m and bought Poveda

Oh victor. you little star you.

to be fair Clarke was a huge disappointment and shame for the lad as he showed amazing promise although fitness was always poor

yeah BV you know what I am like a dog with a bone, had enough of mates at football winding me up (after bloke I play with met KP due to advertising deal) then with the coach at club and final straw was mates brother in law who was a professional footballer at Millwall but is a huge leeds fan so I made a series of videos complete with analysis (and even arrows like sky sports cos im proper sad like that)

I can't upload onto youtube due to my very foul language and I have to behave now on social media due to upcoming film. but for me the whole 25 minutes can be best summed up by Fulham's second goal. it was quality and very easy for you all to look up

basically kp is in a 50/ 50 ball with Fulham midflieder of course he is beat to ball (due to slow pace) . Phillips then bounces off the player (cos he is weak on ball) then player then walks past Phillips (again phillips never recovers) and result Fulham player passes for the assist to there second goal

this is the most damming and easiest for all leeds fans to find and sums it up. the leeds fan who played for Millwall said one example so I sent another 25 minutes of similar things

Man City goal phillips not closing ball down then throwing a leg backwards to block like a seven year old school ball

phillips trying to chase the speedster Roberts for Wales then bringing him down for dangerous free kick

meliser amazing save against sheff Utd as phillips is hopelessly out of position, cuaght in no mans land and unable to have pace to make up for not knowing what he is doing for cross or marking the man

these are all very easy to find and very damming but of course leeds fans will not do this (they rather slate me) but when I send the video with me shouting and drawing lines. even the biggest leeds fans can not argue with the damming footage. I even give Alan hansan a run for his money.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it just me or do most just read bermos first 3 words then scroll down. Think if you write 250 words you win the arguement. Just glazes my eyes over to be honest!

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 21:12:42
Berm

1) you could always simply reshoot this video either

not swearing
or muting the swear words

then load it onto YouTube hopefully next to the other videos in the section labelled COMEDY 🤣 ( just joshing with you😉 )

2) The real crux of the matter for me is why are you appear to be the only person in the world who thinks KP is so Carp

Bielsa and everyone else thinks not

# endangered species Berm 😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 04:33:41
Tbh I'm not a fan of Phillips either at least not defensively (the points above are accurate bit I would also say Cooper was hugely culpable for the citeh goal as well) and fear he wil cost us this season. However, I can see the role that he plays for us offensively (as BW has also pointed out previously) and really, really hope he will grow and adapt ans do brilliantly for us (same with Cooper) so I am just seeing what happens and how things go. I figure Bielsa knows better than I do.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 09:45:36
to be fair BV I have laid out the points to watch very clearly and only picked the very easy ones to find so just go look and see and tell me I am wrong? in the time it takes people to reply they could look up 2nd Fulham goal, mielsier wonder save, city goal and Wales free kick. There are 100's but I have picked the ones that are so easy to find because I am desperate for you all to watch them and say where exactly I am wrong?

I find it odd that people haven't because they want to argue one here but can't spend five minutes of there lives to look at them videos and say your wrong Bermondsey. but i'm not I am 100% accurate Phillips is a huge defensive libaility

same with messer loves to comment, take the piss, be rude etc. can't read a reply (but then reads my others ones which are longer) but mezzer despite all his comments towards me can't spend five minutes watching the club he loves and the player he adores?

All seems very odd to me. so leeds fans your challenge if you choose to accept it is. watch the sections I pointed out and tell me how phillips is not a complete waste of space in them all. better off not on the pitch in ever single video I have pointed out. yes that bad. go on watch them. say where I am wrong in them videos of phillips the Yorkshire Pirlo looking like a right mug


now getting back to alf I agree. reading the game offensively, finding that pass, and hitting a wonder pass phillips is quality second maybe only to de buyne and silva in recent prem years. I love him for that. but you lot talk about his defensive qualities. when it is very obvious to anyone he ain't got none

again it will take you five minutes to shut me up. go watch the videos. espically Fulham's second goal. go watch that and tell me phillips ain't league 1 defensively?

Agree0 Disagree0

Win against Wolves, and we're up to second.
Premier League, Schmemier Schmeague; yer 'avin a laff!

Never count chickens etc

Wolves are a good team.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 12:36:38
wolves are a good team and no way a win a certainlty but ain't it nice that we could go second and a win is possible due to how we have played. the lads are doing us proud.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Oct 2020 13:53:53
Brightwhite as Ville play leicester even a draw means wed need to score about 7, nice thinkin but longshot.

Jeez lads. a point would be satisfactory vs Wolves! It’s all tongue firmly in cheek!

In the words of the monkees I’m a believer.

Top 4 finish Berm? Hmm

Pretty miraculous and optimistic from you when have you regularly stated and slated KP in a key position CDM and the Leeds defence particularly Cooper stating they will cost Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Oct 2020 09:49:01
it is optomistic but I think the rest of the teams look dodgy and form at the moment is all over the place. on our day I think we could beat anyone

as for Cooper I don't think he will be in the team much longer

and as for phillips I think he offers a lot going forward which is great, of course defensively he is about as much use as a condom made of tissue paper but I see phillips playing out one of two ways

1. his offensive qualities out weight his defensive libaties in which case we should be alright
2. like I suggest he gets found out and managers put fast players on him marking him out of the game and costing us many goals. in which case they will have to drop him and in comes stuijk who I think is prem class

all round I think he could push for top six and why not top four.

Agree0 Disagree0
